About Pampero
Pampero is Empresas Polar's ketchup, described on the brand's own page as a tomato-flavoured sauce with a perfect balance of sweet and sour and the smell and colour of natural tomato. It reached Polar with the 2001 Mavesa acquisition. The name is shared with, but unrelated to, Ron Pampero, an internationally known Venezuelan rum made by a different company; Empresas Polar's Pampero is a food condiment, not a spirit.
